Police were called to addresses in the Blacker Road/Jack Hill/Norman Park area at 7.13pm after receiving reports that two young men had been stabbed.

The area was sealed off and dozens of officers swarmed the area. The air ambulance was also used.

Eye-witness Mohammed Hussain, 43, who was working in the back of his 50-year-old brother Manzoor Hussain’s shop, New Sanam’s sweet store on Blacker Road, said: “All of a sudden this lad came into the store dripping blood everywhere.

“He said he’d been stabbed in the head and below his ribs in the chest/back area.

“Apparently he had been stabbed multiple times and was covered in blood.

“He said he had been stabbed and needed help. My brother is a former police officer with Greater Manchester Police and first aid trained so he did his best to stop the wounds bleeding before the medics arrived and took over.

“My brother put some pressure on his wounds to staunch the flow of the blood.

“He was moaning and said he wanted his mum, he wanted to speak to his mum. It was all quite shocking and disturbing.

“I have no idea what it was all about.”

West Yorkshire Police Force Inspector, Darren Brown, said one man had been arrested in connection with the incident.

He added: “One of the men, a 25-year-old male from Huddersfield has received the more serious wounds, Section 18 level of wounding while the 18–year-old male has received more superficial injuries.

“Both have been taken to Leeds General Infirmary for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
